Add Scale Bars to a 3D Slide [Beta]

Learn how to add and customize a scale bar on a 3D Slide.

Overview

Scale bars display real-world distance directly on your 3D Slide topography.

Distance is calculated from latitude and longitude coordinates, so the scale bar reflects accurate on-ground measurements at the displayed location.
